Rome: Total War

[Winter]

Anyone played this game? I't pretty damn good in my opinion

[MasterPenguin]

I remember buying it for $1 then reselling it for $5 at the same store. Mmmm great memories.

>Playing a strategy game that isn't Starcraft

Heh.

[Sammbo101]

Haven't played it yet, but until I do, I'm with KefkaticFanatic on this.

[MasterPenguin]

Get off the bandwagon, you look like an idiot on it. There are plenty great, if not greater strategy games than starcraft. Remember the Red Alert series? (Not that crap third one). How about Fire Emblem, or Advance Wars (had to throw in a few handhelds ). WH:40k. Warcraft series (particularly 3). Dune? Civilization? I could go on and on.

[Sammbo101]

okay, okay, yes, on occasion I still play CIV III (cause IV never compared), but, in my opinion, Starcraft has always been one of the best strategy games that has ever existed, with only Chess and Backgammon beating it. But I trust Winterkid09's opinion, so I'm confident it's pretty awesome.

[KefkaticFanatic]

It was 1) a joke and 2) you know very well that there are no real comparable RTS games at the moment.

Note: RTS.

[MasterPenguin]

Warcraft III blows starcraft away.

[KefkaticFanatic]

All I've played on it is DotA and I don't like that

[MasterPenguin]

Unless you've got a shitload of time, DotA will suck to you. Try the other games =p.

Am I the only one here with a huge nostalgic feeling for Age of Empires 2?

By the way, the menu music probably sounds great on piano...

[Winter]

Wow, I haven't played ANY of the games mentioned in this topic besides the one I presented... Never was much of a computer gamer.

[KefkaticFanatic]

I only played AOEIII.  How is 2 in comparison?

[Cobraroll]

^The. Classic.

I didn't play much AoE 3 myself, so I can't compare either. But I think the entire "home town" feature was too confusing, and preferred the style where you get a Town Center and some villagers, and are on your own from there on. And the entire concept with advancing from age to age, upgrading your units to better units, and steadily gain access to new technology was awesome. And Aoe2 has the best atmosphere I've ever seen in an RTS. You built a town, not plunked buildings on the ground.

Rome Total War? Empire is way better =P
